PegE (aka Dr. Elam) & Pat (aka The Queen) spent most of today's show discussing issues related to a Chicago public school's refusal to let students bring lunches from home, which has been publicized as part of country-wide "anti-obesity" food fights.

PegE (a.k.a. Dr. Elam) flew solo today when Pat (a.k.a the Queen) couldn't make it to the studio. (She'll be back next week.) The co-host's absence usually means the show features more music, and today's episode was no exception.

But first PegE discussed attempts by various state governments and other entities to assess financial penalties on people over a certain BMI (Body Mass Index) in the guise of encouraging "healthy" behaviors. What's YOUR answer to the pop quiz "Which of these things is not like the others? Smoking -- Obesity -- Exercising".....?
